* Rob Salkowitz digs into recent legislation in California that requires autographs to be certified if they are to be sold for more than $5. I don't pretend I get that market, that law, and all the things I'm told are wrong with it. If we could have legislation getting rid of an aftermarket for autographs, I would support that law.
